SAFETY-RAZOR.

;metal, and the object is to form of a sin gle piece of fiat metal a flat handle portion in alinement and in the same plane with a flat serrated guard integral with a plurality of laterally and oppositely projecting springy clamping ears for gripping around a pair of hollow-ground razor blades.

The accompanying drawing illustrates my improved form of construction as hereinafter fully described and stated in the claim.

In the drawing,

Figure 1 is a side elevation of the novel construction, and

Fig. 2 a section on the line aa of Fig. 1.

The safety razor, as is shown in Figs. 1 and 2, comprises the flat guard 1 formed with the usual serrations or teeth 2 and with an integral handle portion 3. Along the upper edge opposite the serrated edge there are formed, by suitably cutting and bending the metal, three springy clamping ears, denoted respectively by 4, 5 and 4, of which those marked 4 are bent laterally to one side and the one marked 5 is bent to the opposite side of thefiat guard 1. These ears serve for clamping the thick back of hollow ground razor blades 8. Below the free ends of the ears 4 and 5 respectively there is formed a longitudinal slit 6 with v Specification of Letters Patent.

outwardly turned lips 7 for sustaining the cutting edge of the razor blades at a slight distance from the teeth 2. The provision of clamping ears at both sides of the flat guard 1 enables one razor blade 8 to be se cured on the one or the other side of the guard 1 so as to suit the convenience of the user; or two razor blades may be simultaneously held in position as is shown in Fig. 2.

It will be easily understoodthat an integral handle, fiat guard and clamping ears duced from a single strip of flat metal by suitably stamping and bending same and consequently large numbers of the article can be manufactured very cheaply.

I claim: I

A safety razor, comprising a flat guard provided on one edge with serrations and on the opposite edge with three clamping ears formed integral therewith, the two exfor hollow-ground razor blades can be proternal ears bein bent laterally to one side while the midd e ear is bent to the opposite side of the guard, the guard being also provided with lips turned out from its body in opposite directions, a blade adapted to be held on the one or the other side of the guard in position by the clamping ears pressing it against the turned out lips keeping it at a distance from the serrations, and a flat handle formed integral with the guard and arranged in a plane therewith.

In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
